Fuel City to start construction in Haltom City next month
Don’t despair late night taco lovers, Fuel City in Haltom City will open before the end of the year.
Fuel City, the Dallas convenience store chain known as much for its tasty tacos, animals and weekend karaoke nights as cheap gas, will break ground on it’s Haltom City location next month.
Founder John Benda said last week that he hopes bring the bulldozers soon to the 8.3-acre lot at Haltom Road and Texas 121. He hopes to open in December, a month or so later than expected.
“We’re going to start moving dirt in May,” Benda said.
One of the difficulties has been getting permits and such from Haltom City. Besides those needed for signs, he also had to get permits for the donkeys and longhorns that will be on the property.
Along the way, Benda also agreed to have a “Welcome to Haltom City” sign that will includes a changeable message. “I’m paying for and I’m thrilled to do it.”
So get in line now. The tacos are coming.
